    I finished putting it together and tried a "bench" run.
    The first, second, third, fourth pulls were hopeful.
    Kept opening the carb needle a little at a time,
    until I decided it was flooding. Longest I had it
    running was about 3 seconds. 🙁
    Then it was lunch time. I haven’t done an actual
    compression test on it, but know now that it has
    rings on the piston, it’s better!
    Right now the little Thor built engine is like the
    "God of Blunder"…… perhaps tomorrow it
    will be mighty once more?
